Does pencil lead conduct electricity?
Pencil lead (aka graphite) DOES conduct electricity. It does this thanks to electron delocalization within the carbon layers. Since the valence electrons are free to move, they are able to conduct electricity.
Why does water conduct electricity while air does not?
AiR also conduct electricity,like wind power plant.Air has moisture which help it to generate electricity
Does Acid solutions conduct electricity?
Yes. This is because they contain H+ Ions.
Will a copper coin conduct electricity?
Each copper atom has lost one electron and become a positive ion. ... The electrons can move freely through the metal. For this reason, they are known as free electrons. They are also known as conduction electrons, because they help copper to be a good conductor of heat and electricity. Therefore, copper is an outstanding material to use for conducting electricity! Hope it helped :)
How do you produce hydrogen in large quantity?
Electrolysis of water containing a small amount of acid to help conduct the electricity.

Why is a metal found on the left side of the periodic table likely to conduct electricity?
Metals lose electrons to form cations. These ions help in conducting electricity.
How does soda conduct electricity?
Because it is a liquid , consisting free moving electrons
How does salt help conduct electricity in water?
Salt splits up into ions; it is the ions that conduct electricity.

Why does insulators and conductors matter?
In electricity, Insulators help insulate electric charges. Conductors conduct the electric charges and make them into electricity.
How charcoal conduct electricity?
Charcoal is an insulator. I had to use charcoal for a lab and see if it was a conductor or insulator, and we found out that it was an insulator since it can't help electrical/heat conductivity. -T :)
How does zinc help you?
Be more specific, please. It helps conduct electricity and it's good for your hair if that's what you mean.
How do you produce hydrogen in large quantity?
Electrolysis of water containing a small amount of acid to help conduct the electricity.
Why does potassium chloride start to conduct when it is melted?
when melted KCl breaks into K+ and Cl- ions,which help in conducting electricity.
